St John's Roman Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy
About St John's Roman Catholic Primary School, a Voluntary Academy
Parents considering St John’s Roman Catholic Primary School will find a school that families clearly rate highly, with 94% of parents recommending it in the most recent Parent View survey. That figure places it well above the national average for primary schools and suggests a strong level of satisfaction among those who know it best. The school is also oversubscribed, with 28 first-choice applications for its 30 Reception places in the last admissions round, a ratio of 0.93 applicants per place. While not the most competitive in the borough, this still indicates healthy local demand. As a voluntary-aided Roman Catholic school, priority in admissions is given to baptised Catholic children, so families outside the faith should check the oversubscription criteria carefully. The school has a nursery provision for three-year-olds, which can be a useful entry point for local families.
